Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device which can be used to regulate pressure in a heart chamber. Specifically, the present invention relates to a device which can be used to lower a blood pressure in a left atrium in response to an increase in left atrial pressure and to a method of utilizing such a device in treatment of congestive heart failure related conditions such as Pulmonary Edema and decompensated heart failure caused by elevated pressures in a left side chamber of a heart.
- congestive heart failure related conditions such as Pulmonary Edema and decompensated heart failure caused by elevated pressures in a left side chamber of a heart.
- CHF Congestive heart failure
- CHF results from a weakening or stiffening of the heart muscle most commonly caused by myocardial ischemia (due to, for example, myocardial infarction) or cardiomyopathy (e.g. myocarditis, amyloidosis). Such weakening or stiffening leads to reduced cardiac output, an increase in cardiac filling pressures, and fluid accumulation.
- Congestive heart failure (CHF) is generally classified as systolic heart failure (SHF) or diastolic heart failure (DHF).
- EF ejection fraction
- stroke volume volume of blood ejected out of the left ventricle
- a normal ejection fraction is greater than 50%.
- Systolic heart failure has a decreased ejection fraction of less than 50%.
- cardiac remodeling aimed to maintain adequate stroke-volume. This pathophysiological mechanism is associated with increased atrial pressure and left ventricular filling pressure.
- Diastolic heart failure is more common in patients older than 75 years, especially in women with high blood pressure. In diastolic heart failure, the ejection fraction is normal.
- CHF can be managed via a pharmacological approach which utilizes vasodilators for reducing the workload of the heart by reducing systemic vascular resistance and/or diuretics which prevent fluid accumulation and edema formation, and reduce cardiac filling pressure.
- assist devices such as mechanical pumps can be used to reduce the load on the heart by performing all or part of the pumping function normally done by the heart.
- Temporary assist devices and intra-aortic balloons may be helpful.
- Cardiac transplantation and chronic left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implants may often be used as last resort.
- all the assist devices currently used are intended for improving pumping capacity of the heart and increasing cardiac output to levels compatible with normal life and are typically used to sustain the patient while a donor heart for transplantation becomes available.
- pacing devices used to treat CHF.
- Mechanical devices enable propulsion of significant amounts of blood (liters/min) but are limited by a need for a power supply, relatively large pumps and possibility of hemolysis and infection are all of concern.
- Surgical approaches such as dynamic cardiomyoplasty or the Batista partial left ventriculectomy are used in severe cases, as is heart transplantation, although the latter is highly invasive and limited by the availability of donor hearts.
- a shunt being positionable across the septum of the heart, specifically in the fossa ovalis, the shunt being for enabling blood flow between a left heart chamber and a right heart chamber, wherein a flow rate capacity of the device is a function of pressure difference between the left atrium and the right atrium.
- the elevation in the left atrial pressure is higher than the elevation in the right atrial pressure and therefore the flow rate capacity is mainly regulated by the left atrial pressure changes.
- left heart failure elevation of right heart pressure is also a function of left heart pressure.
- neuro-hormonal compensatory mechanisms cause more endothelin secretion and less NO. This mechanism constricts the blood vessels and raises the right pulmonary artery pressure. If it wouldn't have occurred there would have been no flow across the pulmonary circulation. Therefore even though the flow across the present device is solely dependent on the pressure gradient between the left and right atrium it is correct to assume that its all a function of the left atrium pressure.
- the flow rate capacity of the device increases by 0.1-1.5 L/min when the average pressure in the left heart chamber is greater than 20 mmHg.
- the flow rate capacity of the device is 0.1-0.3 l/min when the average pressure in the left heart chamber is less than 20 mmHg.
- the device further comprises a valve for regulating flow through the shunt, wherein the valve increases a flow rate capacity of the device in response to an increase in pressure in the left heart chamber thus creating an increase in the differential pressure between the left and the right atria.
- the valve is a tissue valve.
- the tissue valve is a pericardium tissue valve.
- the pericardium tissue is derived from a Porcine, Equine, or Bovine source.
- the device further comprises anchoring elements for attaching the device to the septum.
- the device further comprises anchoring elements for attaching the device to the septum.
- the device is diabolo-shaped such that the device only contacts tissue forming the opening in the septum and not tissue surrounding the opening.
- the diabolo shape does not allow migration of the valve through the septum.
- a method of assessing the hemodynamic condition of a subject comprising implanting the present device in the subject and determining flow through, or valve leaflet angle of, the device, the flow through or leaflet angle being indicative of left atrial pressure.
- determining is effected via an imaging approach such as ultrasound, fluoroscopy, MRI and the like.
- the present invention successfully addresses the shortcomings of the presently known configurations by providing a device which can more accurately compensate for a disordered hemodynamic state of a heart of a CHF patient and which can be implanted using minimally invasive approaches.

- the present invention is of a device and method which can be used to regulate pressure in a heart chamber.
- the present invention can be used to treat elevated chamber pressures present in a patient suffering from CHF or having a Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) or an Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) that requires repair and prevention of embolization from right to left atriums but is preferably left with residual flow between atriums so as not to traumatize heart hemodynamics.
- PFO Patent Foramen Ovale
- ASD Atrial Septal Defect
- the present device can also be used to determine the pressure in the left atrium and thus assist in defining the exact clinical condition of the patient which can be used to alter/adjust patient medication and help stabilize hemodynamics.
- CHF is one of the most common causes of hospitalization and mortality in Western society. At present, CHF is treated using pharmaceutical, mechanical or surgical approaches.
- Applicant has devised a novel minimally invasive approach for reducing the disordered hemodynamics associated with CHF.
- a novel minimally invasive approach for reducing the disordered hemodynamics associated with CHF.
- Such an approach which is described in US 20020173742 and 20070282157, the entire contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference, utilizes a device which includes a shunt which is positioned between heart atria and enables blood flow between the left and right atria.
- the device includes an adjustable flow regulation mechanism which is configured for regulating the flow of blood through the shunt in relation to a pressure differential between the chambers.
- a device for regulating blood pressure in a heart chamber such as a ventricle or an atria.
- the present device can be used in human subjects suffering from CHF as well as in subjects which have septal defects but are not candidates for complete septal closure.
- the device includes a shunt which preferably includes a valve for controlling flow through the shunt.
- the device is positionable within a septum of the heart and is configured for enabling blood flow between a left heart chamber and a right heart chamber.
- the device is configured such that a flow rate capacity thereof is a function of (blood) pressure gradient between the left and right atria. Because the right atria pressure is mostly affected from the left atria pressure, flow regulation is mainly governed by the left atria pressure.
- LAP left atrial pressure
- the present invention can be used to treat pulmonary edema associated with CHF.
- Pulmonary edema which is the most severe manifestation of CHF, develops when an imbalance in the heart pumping function causes an increase in lung fluid secondary to leakage from pulmonary capillaries into the interstitium and alveoli of the lung.
- the present device can be used to alleviate such an imbalance by regulating flow from the left atrium to the right atrium (through a septum).
- the flow capacity of the present device changes mainly due to changes in left atrial pressure and as a result, flow from the left atrium to the right atrium is mainly a function of the left atrial pressure.
- the flow capacity of the present device gradually changes starting at left atrial pressure (LAP) of about 15 mmHg and reaches full capacity at an LAP of 25 mmHg.
- LAP left atrial pressure
- the device can be designed with characteristics that are patient dependent i.e. if a patient is screened and found to be at pulmonary Edema risk at 20 mmHg then the device is configured for reaching full flow capacity at 20 mmHg.
- the flow capacity of the present device starts to change when the pressure gradient across the septum is between 5 mmHg-10 mmHg. Up to 5 mmhg the valve of the present device remains substantially closed. Between 5-10 mmHg the valve slightly opens and flow of up to 0.5 l/min is supported. At gradients between 10-20 mmHg the flow across the valve rapidly increases as a function of the opening of the leaflets. The flow reaches 1.5 l/min at 20 mmHg. Above 20 mmHg the valve is fully open and the flow is defined by the narrow part of the lumen of the device (in the diabolo configuration, the narrow portion can be between 4-6 mm depending on the configuration).
- the device is patient specific i.e. in patients where the pressure gradients are very high the valve will be built such that the min opening gradient will be higher than in those patients where the gradients are lower. For example: if the patient has a mean LA gradient of 16 mmHg and mean RA pressure of 8 mmhg the valve will be assembled with the parameters described in (iv). If however, the mean LA pressure is 23 mmHg and the mean RA pressure is 8 mmHg the minimal valve opening will be at 10 mmhg and full opening will only occur at the 25 mmHg gradient.
- the device is designed to allow constant flow regardless of left chamber pressure to maintain its patency over time. Constant flow refers to a flow during each heart cycle. However in each cycle, if the mean left atrial pressure is below 20 mmHg, flow will only occur during the V-Wave of the atria. The V-Wave of the atria occurs at the end of the atria's diastole. CHF patients, especially those having mitral regurgitation, have V-Waves characterized by very high pressure that can reach up to 40 mmHg for up to 150 ms of each heart beat. The rest of the cycle the left atrium pressure drops.
- the present device will enable flow that maintains the patency of the device only for a short duration (less than 15%) of each cycle, and thus the flow across the valve of the present device will be less than 0.3 L/min and there will be negligible effect on the cardiac output.
- a diameter of a shunt (conduit) of the device changes from 0-6 mm as a function of the pressure changes to prevent large volume flow when left chamber pressure is below a predetermined threshold (e.g. when LAP is below 25 mmHg).
- the device is configured to prevent right chamber blood from entering the left chamber under elevated right chamber pressure conditions where RAP is higher than LAP. Selecting a shunt length of above 10 mm prevents RA blood from reaching the Left Atrium also during onset of slightly higher RA-LA pressure gradient. Another feature that disables right to left shunting is the valve that is normally closed when pressures in the right atrium are slightly higher than in the left atrium. In CHF caused by left heart failure there are almost no cases where there is a higher right atrium pressure. Therefore prevention of flow in pressures gradients of less than 5 mmHg eliminates the risk of right to left shunting in CHF patients.
- the device When left chamber pressure is below a predetermined threshold (e.g. below 25 mmHg in the LA), the device is designed to minimize CO reduction to less than 0.1 l/min.
- a predetermined threshold e.g. below 25 mmHg in the LA
- the Device can also be designed to allow controlled tissue growth (up to 1 mm thickness) to become inert over time but not to lead to occlusion by excessive growth in or around the shunt.
- the present device is an intra-septal implant which is attached to a septum separating two heart chambers (e.g. left atria from right atria or left ventricle from right ventricle).
- the device includes a shunt and optionally a valve having an opening capable of changing its diameter mainly as a function of the left chamber pressure.
- the present device is preferably designed having a 5 mm opening diameter following implantation and tissue ingrowths.
- the device is configured for maintaining constant flow through the V-wave portion of each heart cycle at about 0.1-0.3 l/min.
- the maximum opening diameter of the shunt/valve is preferably 5 mm to enable an approximate maximum flow capacity of 1.5 l/min.
- the device of the present invention or a portion thereof is preferably constructed from a laser cut tube to a shape of a stent, covered by ePTFE to create a shunt and a tissue valve at the left atria's end (Pericardium equine, Bovine, Porcine between 0.1 mm-0.5 mm tissue thickness) which is sutured or welded to the frame.
- the present device can preferably be collapsed to an overall diameter of less than 15 French (15F), where 1 French is equivalent to 1 ⁇ 3 mm.
- FIGS. 1 a - 3 Embodiments of the device of the present invention suitable for use in regulating left atrial pressure are illustrated in FIGS. 1 a - 3 . It will be appreciated that although the following describes use of the present device in regulating LAP, alternative uses in regulating LVP, RAP or RVP are also envisaged by the present inventors.
- FIGS. 1A-1B illustrate one embodiment of the present device which is referred to herein as device 10 .
- FIGS. 1A-1B illustrate a cross sectional view ( FIG. 1A ) or a frontal view ( FIG. 1B ) of device 10 in a configuration in which flow capacity is at a minimum.
- Device 10 includes a shunt 12 which serves as a conduit for blood flow between a left chamber (LC) and a right chamber (RC).
- Shunt 12 is configured as a tube having a diameter (D) selected from a range of 3-10 mm.
- Shunt 12 can be constructed from a polymer such as silicone, ePTFE, or Dacron via extrusion or molding or from an alloy (e.g. titanium, NITINOL, Cobalt Chromium and the like). It can also be constructed from tissue derived from vein grafts or pericardium. In any case, shunt 12 preferably includes a tissue outer structure and potentially an inner polymer cover.
- the tubular frame of shunt 12 can be constructed by cutting a tube or by wrapping a wire over a mandrel and covering the resultant tubular structure with animal tissue (e.g. pericardium derived from bovine, equine or porcine tissue), PTFE or Dacron which is sutured or welded to the frame.
- animal tissue e.g. pericardium derived from bovine, equine or porcine tissue
- PTFE or Dacron which is sutured or welded to the frame.
- walls 14 contact blood as it flows through shunt 12 , such walls can be coated or impregnated with carbon, heparin and endothelial cells. Such coating can be used to reduce drag and prevent blood coagulation and formation of clots and to promote controlled tissue growth.
- walls 14 can be textured or provided with fine electropolished smooth metal surfaces in order to increase laminar flow and decrease turbulence.
- Shunt 12 is selected having a length (L) of 10-20 mm and a wall 14 thickness of 0.1-0.5 mm.
- Device 10 further includes anchoring elements 16 which serve to anchor shunt 12 to septum 18 .
- Anchoring elements are designed for anchoring septal tissue.
- the device will be implanted in the septum preferably in the Fossa Ovalis were the wall thickness is between 0.2-1 mm.
- septal anchoring is preferably effected by expanding the diameter of shunt 12 at least 2 mm larger than the Transeptal puncture diameter used for implantation. This expansion will give the radial stiffness needed to hold the implant in place.
- anchoring elements 16 are configured for applying axial pressure against the septum to thereby add friction that will prevent relative movement between device 10 and the septum. Such pressure is achieved by the shape of device 10 when in position.
- Anchoring elements 16 can be constructed from a NITINOL wire mesh or a Polymer (e.g. Dacron, ePTFE) sutured to the wire. Anchoring elements 16 are configured with an elastic force directed towards each other such that when device 10 is positioned, anchoring elements 16 apply opposing inward forces to the septal tissue.
- a Polymer e.g. Dacron, ePTFE
- anchoring elements 16 and shunt 12 are designed to compensate for such tissue growth.
- device 10 or any of its components can be seeded with endothelial cells or coated with heparin or impregnated with carbon in order to controlled tissue growth and prevent clot formation.
- Shunt 12 is designed such that tissue ingrowth will not be excessive. Ends of shunt 12 protrude from the septal plane to minimize rapid tissue growth. Device 10 is also designed to minimize an effect on atrial flow in order not to cause hemolysis. In that respect, ends of shunt 12 do not protrude by more than 7 mm into opposing Atria and in addition the surfaces of shunt 12 exposed to flow are preferably rounded.
- device 10 also includes a valve 20 which functions in regulating flow through shunt 12 .
- the flow capacity of shunt 12 is fixed, however, flow therethrough is regulated by a diameter of opening 22 of valve 20 and as such the overall flow capacity of device 10 falls within a preset range (e.g. 0.2-1.5 l/min).
- Valve 20 can be constructed having any configuration capable of supporting baseline (minimal) flow when in a closed position (Shown in FIGS. 1A-1B ) while being capable of a gradual or binary response to left chamber pressure which exceeds a predetermined threshold (e.g. above 25 mmHg in left atrium).
- Valve 20 includes a frame 24 which is constructed from a polymer or an alloy (e.g. NITINOL) with overstretched polymer or tissue (as described above for shunt 12 ).
- Valve 20 can be attached to shunt 12 or constructed as an extension thereof (contiguous).
- Opening 22 in valve 20 is formed in front wall 26 of valve 20 .
- opening 22 can be constructed by overlapping leaflets of polymer or tissue. The valve can be cut from one or three leaflets that are sutured or welded to their commisures in the closed position of the valve thus leaving a slack that once stretched leads to enlargement of opening 22 .
- a binary response configuration of valve 20 assumes one of two states, a closed state ( FIGS. 1 a - b ) which supports flow of 0.1-0.5 l/min or an open state ( FIGS. 2A-2B ) which supports flow of 0.5-1.2 l/min.
- Such a binary configuration can be constructed by, for example, designing frame 24 to be capable of assuming one of two states in response to pressure applied to front ( 26 ) or side ( 28 ) walls of valve 20 .
- the frame of valve 20 includes NITINOL commisures that under predetermined forces (few grams) are able to rotate inwards. This is achieved by a designing such commisures with a preset bending response.
- a gradual response configuration of valve 20 includes a frame 24 or walls 26 or 28 that are configured capable of changing conformation in response to pressure elevation in a gradual or stepwise manner.
- diameter of opening 22 of valve 20 can increase from 1-3 mm (closed state) in increments of, for example, 1 mm in response to changes in pressure of 5 mmHg.
- valve 20 is capable of a gradual opening response to increases left chamber pressure. Such gradual response is enabled by use of arms 30 forming a part of frame 24 .
- pressure applied to front walls 26 of valve 20 rotates arms 30 inward (towards shunt 12 ) thereby increasing diameter of opening 22 .
- a rise in pressure of 5-10 mmHg (over a threshold, e.g. 25 mmHg in the LA), translates to an increase of 5-10 grams of force on walls 26 and rotation of arms 30 45 degrees inward.
- rotation of arms 30 45 degrees inward results in an increase diameter in opening 22 from 3 to 5 mm.
- FIG. 3 illustrates another embodiment of device 10 .
- flow through shunt 12 is controlled by a sail-like element 40 which is disposed completely in the left Atrium.
- a sail-like element 40 which is disposed completely in the left Atrium.
- a predetermined threshold elements 42 are pushed towards the Septum. This movement pulls valve flaps 42 outward (in the direction of arrows 44 ) thereby increasing flow through shunt 12 .
- any configuration which can be used to increase flow in shunt 12 as a function of Left chamber pressure increase can be used with the present invention.
- Device 10 of the present invention can be configured to support any flow capacity of therapeutic value and be capable of any response profile to increasing or decreasing chamber pressures.
- device 10 supports a minimal flow capacity of 0.1-0.3 and a maximal flow capacity of 0.6-1.2 l/min under increased left chamber pressure.
- device 10 supports a flow capacity of 0.1-0.5 l/min at LAP of less than or equal to 25 mmHg and a flow capacity of 0.6-1.2 l/min at LAP greater than 25 mmHg.
- device 10 supports a flow capacity of 0.1-0.3 l/min at LAP of less than or equal to 25 mmHg and a flow capacity of 0.5-1.2 l/min at LAP greater than 25 mmHg.
- a pressure versus shunt diameter curve is not linear but is preferably exponential.
- FIGS. 4A-4D illustrate yet another embodiments of device 10 of the present invention.
- the configuration exemplified by this embodiment is responsive (in as far as changes to flow capacity) to either LA-RA pressure differential or to left atrial pressure only as is the case with the configurations described above.
- valve 20 can fully close under low a pressure differential lower than a predetermined threshold or under LA pressure lower than a threshold. Such complete closure prevents any flow from the LA to the RA.
- Valve 20 includes front walls 26 (leaflets) that are sutured to arms 30 (commisures).
- Aims 30 can be constructed from NITINOL which at a pressure differential higher than 8 mmHg (i.e. the pressure difference between the right and left sides of walls 26 as shown in FIG. 4 a ) will elastically deform in the direction of the RA to thereby open valve 20 and enable blood flow from the LA to the RA.
- Such opening of valve 20 can be gradual up to a maximum achieved at a pressure differential of 10 mmHg. Likewise when the pressure differential decreases to below 5 mmHg, valve 20 will close completely.
- Valve 20 of this embodiment of device 10 opens and closes with each heart cycle as a response to an RA-LA pressure differential.
- Such a pressure differential fluctuates between diastolic and systolic phases of each heart cycle.
- peak LA pressure is below 25 mmHg and thus the LA-RA pressure differential is around 5 mmHg in the diastolic phase and 10 mmHg in the systolic phase.
- Valve 20 is designed to start opening (increasing flow capacity through shunt 12 ) at a pressure differential higher than 5 mmHg.
- shunt 12 will support maximal flow capacity at the systolic phase of each heart cycle and minimal flow capacity at the diastolic phase. This will result in a net flow (LA to RA) of less than 0.3 l/min.
- valve 20 During acute stages when the LA pressure is higher than 25 mmHg, valve 20 will be fully open, this will result in a net flow (LA to RA) of 1.5 l/min thereby decreasing the LA pressure by 5 mmHg.
- FIGS. 5A-5D illustrate yet another configuration of device 10 of the present invention.
- shunt 12 is housed in a diabolo-shaped body comprising intersecting first and second conical sections that intersect at a plane to define a neck and is constructed from an alloy such as stainless steel or NITINOL using methods well known in the art of stent making.
- a diabolo-shaped body is advantageous for septal anchoring and the prescribed function of device 10 .
- a diabolo shape ensures that a device 10 positioned within a septum opening is trapped therein due to the fact that the region of minimal diameter of device 10 (indicated by 13 in FIGS. 5A-5D ) traverses the septal opening while the larger diameter ends flank the opening and do not contact the tissue.
- This anchoring configuration also minimizes irritation to septal tissue since contact between device 10 and the tissue is minimized. Since the larger diameter ends ( 15 in FIGS. 5A-5D ) of device 10 flank the septal opening and cannot move through the opening therein, device 10 is essentially trapped and secured within the opening. In addition, such trapping (passive anchoring) ensures that device 10 remains in position during septal wall movement, dilation of the septal opening and flow of blood through shunt 12 while accommodating such movement without applying forces to the septal tissue which might result in tissue damage.
- FIGS. 5A-5D also includes a valve 20 which is constructed from elastic arms 30 which can be separately connected to the body of device 10 ( FIGS. 5C-5D ) by way of welding, suturing, or interconnected at ends thereof into a single structure as shown in FIGS. 5A-5B ).
- Arms 30 can be covered with tissue or PTFE membranes (not shown) in a manner similar to that described above. Arms 30 can move between a closed position (as shown in FIGS. 5B-5C ) which minimizes or blocks flow and one or more open positions ( FIG.
- valve 20 of this device 10 configuration functions in a manner similar to valve 20 described above with reference to alternative device 10 configurations.
- Device 10 is delivered via a standard trans-septal puncture procedure.
- a trans-septal puncture is made as described below and a 12-16 F sheath is inserted into the septal opening from the RA venous system from the inferior vena Cava side.
- Device 10 is fed into the distal end of the sheath (protruding into the LA) via a tapered loader and pushed into the sheath to the point where the LA side of device 10 protrudes from the distal side of the sheath.
- the LA side of device 10 is then expanded (by pushing the valve into the LA).
- the sheath, with the device is then pulled into the RA to the point where the expanded LA side of device 10 contacts the septum. In this position the sheath is pulled back (in the direction of the RA) exposing the RA side of device 10 and locking it within the septum.
- the Loader and sheath are then removed.
- device 10 In the expanded configuration, device 10 is about 13 mm in length, with a minimal diameter of 4-8 mm (at 13 ) and a maximal diameter of 10-16 mm (at 15 ). In the compressed (deliverable) configuration, device 10 is 10-18 mm in length and 3-6 mm in diameter.
- device 10 can be configured as part of a kit which includes several variants of device 10 , each having slightly different characteristics (such as device 10 length, diameter of shunt 12 , pressure threshold for increasing opening 22 of valve 20 and the like). Such a kit enables a physician to match a patient with the most suitable variant of device prior to implantation.
- device 10 can be configured modifiable post implantation.
- Such a configuration of device 10 can include elements which can be adjusted post implantation to thereby modify device 10 characteristics to match the hemodynamic profile of the patient.
- One example of such a configuration can include a device 10 which can have a shunt 12 conduit which can be expanded to a predetermined diameter using a balloon catheter.
- device 10 of the present invention can be utilized in treatment of CHF as well as other disorders.
- device 10 is preferably positioned in a septum between atria using a minimally invasive delivery system.
- the system includes a delivery catheter capable of delivering device 10 to a heart septum and a sheath, a push-rod, a transeptal puncture device and haemostatic valves
- Implantation of device 10 is effected via transfemoral approach.
- a catheter is delivered through a sheath placed through the femoral vein and up into the Vena Cava into the RA.
- a transeptal puncture device is deployed from the delivery catheter and the middle of the Fossa Ovalis of the septum is controllably punctured and then dilated via a balloon catheter to 7 mm (switched through the sheath).
- a pressure transducer catheter is then used to collect hemodynamic parameters from the left and right atria over at least one complete heart cycle to thereby derive patient-specific parameters such as left atrial pressure during diastole and systole and the like. These parameters will enable selection of a device 10 having characteristics (e.g. flow capacity of shunt in the closed and fully open positions, length of device 10 ) which best match the needs of the patient.
- the device 10 selected is then loaded onto a delivery catheter and delivered to the septum.
- Device 10 is pushed out of the access sheath and into the LA using the push-rod deployed from the delivery catheter, such positioning deploys the anchoring elements on the RA side.
- the catheter is then retracted to position the device in place in the LA and deploy the anchoring elements at the LA side.
- transplantation of device 10 of the present invention through a septum of a subject can be used to treat CHF-related conditions as well as be used in cases of septal or atrial defects which cannot be effectively treated via standard approaches.
- the present device can also be used to determine the pressure in the left atrium and thus assist in assessing the clinical condition of the patient. Such an assessment can be used to adjust the medication given to the patient and help stabilize the patient's hemodynamic condition.
- Left atrial pressures can be determined by visualizing, using imaging modality such as echo ultrasound, an angle of the leaflets of the valve of the present device or by quantifying the flow across the valve.
- the angles of the leaflets or the flow across the valve will correlate to a specific pressure gradient between the left and right atrium thus correlate to the pressure in the left atrium.
- the physician can adjust the medications given to the patient and help in stabilizing the hemodynamic condition of the patient and prevent edema.
- Example 4 of the Examples section which follows provides further detail with respect to leaflet angle and flow measurements calculations.
- LAP left atrial pressure
- a shunt diameter of 4 mm supports a flow capacity of 0.75 l/min, and a 3 mmHg reduction in LAP, a shunt diameter of 5.5 mm supports a flow capacity of 1.3 l/min & and a 5 mmHg reduction in LAP.
- the first few heart cycles will enable 1 l/min flow until the pressure is below 25 mmHg.
- the shunt supports 1 l/min one can expect ⁇ 0.3 l/min CO reduction. This is because of the compensatory mechanisms in CHF.
- the additional pressure is not correlated to additional stroke volume ( FIG. 7 ).
- the additional volume is translated to high pressures and edema. Therefore by slightly reducing the filling volumes there will be a decrease in the pressure but not in the stroke volume.
- a shunt ensures that during onset of Pulmonary Edema (PE), the shunt will open to 4 mm-5.5 mm and decrease LAP by 3 mmHg-5 mmHg.
- LA to RA flow will be 0.75 l ⁇ min-1 l/min.
- the shunt will remain patent just in the Atria's V-Wave and although the opening will be maximal it will only be for a short duration of 150 ms.
- LA-RA flow will be 0.3 l/min.
- the CO reduction will be less than 0.1 l/min
- a device similar to the one illustrated in FIGS. 1A-2B is manufactured as follows.
- a NITINOL tube having a diameter of 5 mm, a length of 18 mm and a wall thickness of 0.25 mm is laser cut to create a tubular wire frame.
- the tubular frame is electro-polished and cleaned and then heat treated to set its final shape on a mandrel.
- the internal and external surfaces of the frame are wrapped with ePTFE.
- Valve leaflets are die cut from 0.25 mm thick bovine pericardium tissue and sutured to form a partially open leaflet valve which is then sutured onto the tubular frame over the fabric at the funnel opening.
- the resultant device is packed until use under sterile conditions.
- the device Prior to transplantation, the device is unpacked and collapsed by hand or by a crimping tool to a final diameter of less than 13 F.
- the collapsed device is loaded into a catheter and placed in front of a pusher rod fitted into the catheter. The device is then positioned as described hereinabove.
- a diabolo-shaped configuration of the present device was constructed by laser cutting a stent from Nitinol tubing and shaping the cut stent into a Diabolo by using a mandrel and applying 530° C. for 12 minutes. Bars for forming the valve arms were laser cut from a 0.0.09 mm thick Nitinol sheet and the bars were shaped using a mandrel. The shaped bars were then welded to the diabolo-shaped stent at three points encircling an opening of the stent.
- the bare wire frame form of the device is shown in FIG. 6A .
- the stent was then covered with ePTFE impregnated with carbon and Pericard leaflets were sutured to the three bars and the circumference of the stent around the three bars ( FIG. 6B ).
- the finished device was then sterilized and collapsed for loading into a sheath.
- the device shown in FIG. 6B was tested using the flow chamber described below to simulate the fluid pressures present in heart chambers.
- the device performed as specified i.e. when the valve was subjected to water pressure equivalent to a column of water >10 cm, the valve arms flexed inward and the valve opened to allow water flow at 0.5 l/min. Water pressure equivalent to a column of water ⁇ 10 cm did not open the valve and thus did not result in any net water flow through the conduit (shunt) of the device.
- the present device was subjected to several pressure differentials using a flow chamber.
- a two chambered device mimicking the left and right atria was constructed from plate Plexiglas. The device was positioned through a membrane separating the two chambers and water was pumped into the left chamber to generate a pressure gradient between the left and right chambers. Once the valve opened under the pressure of the water in the left chamber, water flowed into the right chamber and the flow rate was measured via a flow meter positioned on an output line connected to the bottom of the right chamber. The leaflet angle was determined by photographing the valve under the different pressure gradient conditions. Flow rates and leaflet angles were measured at several different pressure points from a first pressure at which the valve initially opens to a final pressure at which the valve was fully open. Leaflet angle and flow values obtained from six pressure differentials points were used to plot graphs ( FIGS. 9A-9B ).
- Table 2 below exemplifies calculations of the leaflet angle at a 25 mmHg pressure differential.
- a specific pressure differential can be correlated to a leaflet angle and a flow rate range.
- a physician imaging the present device can convert an observed leaflet angle to a pressure differential.
- a physician can translate an observed flow rate into a pressure differential. If desired, both graphs can be used to translate a leaflet angle to a flow rate and vise versa.
- determining the leaflets angle or flow rate via, for example, imaging can provide a physician with an indication of pressure differential and as a result the pressure in the left atrium at any point in the heart cycle.
